Komarken Electronics – Granular Material EP – Solar One Music 14
Straight after the fall of Earth, an era of peace succeeded a period of violence and death. Totally controlled, mankind entered in a time of complete domination while the last pockets of resistance were definitively annihilated. En route to conquer new solar systems, SOM ambassadors Robert Witschakowski and Nico Jagiella decided to appoint a supreme governor in order to rule the blue planet in their absence. Called Komarken Electronics, this mysterious yet merciless entity from beyond quickly became the most terrific nightmare of the human race (Tbc).
After much success on Stilleben structure, Komarken Electronics makes his debut vinyl release on Solar One Music. Following two remarkable appearances on essential “Stranges Tales From The Future” and “SOM Vol. 3” compilations, the Swedish producer, author of the Unhöerbar Collector Series Red Edition, returns to the Jena structure with a fresh audio approach to fuse with talent electro and techno bass influences. Offering an ace collection of much anticipated cuts ranging from deep to new school electro, stupendous “Granular Material EP” features six incredible songs, all of them carrying nice synthetic melodies with Detroit roots.
Opening the 12’’ with oldschoolish reminiscences, inspired title track "Granular Material"12’’ on A side showcases a cutting edge music based upon cosmic strings, great electric layers, dancefloor beats and unique programming. With its subtle retro pop sounding, bubbling “Science Saved Us”, coming next, serves up a heading synthetic tune merging warm strings to percussive drums, striking staccatos and solid bassline. Wicked!
Going a step further into the dark side of sound, classic “Test Tube Funk” on the reverse offers a forward thinking piece of electro, made of Sci Fi layers over clear synth lines while emotive “Spaciousness”, enhanced with smooth beats and light modulations, displays a milestone of a funky gem in Komarken’s own signature. Top notch! Ending the EP on atmospheric notes, organic "Moonlight Beat", a tremendous song with luminous pads sequences, sounds like a cold night immersing planet Earth into darkness forever.
Packaged in a smokey clear vinyl and accompanied with a stunning rework of “Spaciousness” by The Exaltics, turning the original into a timeless classic, this stricly limited release is nothing sort of excellent. Must have!
12’’, electro
